So you know the speed of a wave, and speed is how much the wave moves per second. This wave travels 3x10^8 meters per second. So to find how for you traveled you need to know how many seconds the wave traveled for, 20 minutes is equal to 1200 seconds (times 20 minutes by 60). Then times the seconds by the speed (3x10^8 m/s)x(1200 s) = 3.6x10^11 meters

Somewhere in the vast flat tundra of planet Tehar, a projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of 60 degrees. It reache
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

R = 0.0503 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, to find the range we can use the equation

       R = v₀² sin 2θ / g

How we know the maximum height

      v_{f}² =v_{oy}² - 2 g y

      v_{f}= 0

      v_{oy} = √ 2 g y

      v_{oy} = √ 2 9.8 / 15

      v_{oy} = 1.14 m / s

Let's use trigonometry to find the speed

    sin θ = v_{oy} / vo

    vo = v_{oy} / sin θ

    vo = 1.14 / sin 60

    vo = 1.32 m / s

We calculate the range with the first equation

     R = 1.32² sin(2 60) / 30

    R = 0.0503 m

An object is moving east, and its velocity changes from 65 m/s to 25 m/s in 10 seconds Which describes the acceleration?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

4 m/s in negative acceleration

Explanation:

Acceleration = V- U/t

Where V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity and t is the time given.

U = 65 m/s

V= 25 m/s

T= 10 seconds

Acceleration= (25m/s - 65m/s)÷10secs

= - 40/10

= -4m/s^2

Hence, it has a negative acceleration.

How much force would a 55kg person experience on a roller coaster if they travel through a loop with a radius of 55kg at a speed
Inessa [10]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

For a body moving in uniform circular motion, the force acting on it will be <em>centripetal force</em> and its direction is <em>radially inward</em> , pointing to the center.

The radially inward acceleration, or the centripetal acceleration is given by :

                                          a = v² / r

           where v is the speed at which the body is moving and r is the radius of the circle

Given-

m = 55kg

v = 14.1 m/s

r= 55m

We know that F = ma

⇒   F = m (  v²/ r )

⇒ F = 55 x 14.1 x 14.1 / 55

⇒ F =14.1 x 14.1 = 200 N

∴ <em>The force acting is 200 N</em>.

A car starts out traveling at 35 m/s. The car hits the brakes and decelerates at a rate of 3 m/s^2 for 5 seconds. What Distance
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Answer:

Time needed: 2.5 s
Distance covered: 31.3 m

Explanation:

I'll start with the distance covered while decelerating. Since you know that the initial speed of the car is 15.0 m/s, and that its final speed must by 10.0 m/s, you can use the known acceleration to determine the distance covered by

v2f=v2i−2⋅a⋅d

Isolate d on one side of the equation and solve by plugging your values

d=v2i−v2f2a

d=(15.02−10.02)m2s−22⋅2.0ms−2

d=31.3 m

To get the time needed to reach this speed, i.e. 10.0 m/s, you can use the following equation

vf=vi−a⋅t, which will get you

t=vi−vfa

t=(15.0−10.0)ms2.0ms2=2.5 s

When you stand on tiptoes on a bathroom scale, there is an increase in
pychu [463]

Answer:

B) Pressure on the scale, not registered as weight.

Explanation:

This is because energy (derived from weight) becomes compiled on the tips of your toes, and therefore does not increase your weight, but simply the pressure at a smaller point
